Music in Media Sequance

Recently, me and my partner obtained copyright free music using the Internet. This music is free to use and download. After previously completing audience research we found that 65 percent of people thought that music was necessary in the introduction to our genre of a science fiction film. Out of that 65 percent of people, we then asked what genre of music would be best to use giving them the categories of Minimalism, Urban or Rock. 47 percent said Minimalism. 38 percent then said the genre Urban with one explanation being 'the genre fits well with a Sci-Fi genre'. The large genre of Urban includes many modern smaller genres such as Hip-Hop, Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Jungle and other underground genres. The remaining 15 percent said Rock with someone saying it 'would not create a Sci-Fi feeling'. The main Track we used over our media task had a Dubstep genre which fitted well in the sequence. The track was used when the protagonist starts getting chased. The heavy drum rhythm in the music helped to create the desired feeling, making the audience scared for the person. We chose this track with reference too our audience research.
